Kagiso Rabada Suspended After Testing Positive For Recreational Drug (Ld)

The South African Institute: South African fast bowler Kagiso Rabada has admitted to testing positive for a recreational drug and is currently serving a provisional suspension. This was the reason behind his sudden exit from the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL), where he was playing for the Gujarat Titans. On April 3, the franchise said Rabada had gone back home to deal with a personal matter but did not share any further details. In a statement, Cricket South Africa stated, Cricket South Africa (CSA) can confirm that Proteas Men's right-arm fast bowler Kagiso. Rabada has returned an adverse analytical finding for the use of a prohibited substance. The incident is regrettable, however, Rabada has reassured CSA and his fans of his commitment to upholding professional standards and has restated his passion for the sport of cricket and the country he represents with purpose. CSA is fully committed to drug-free sport and reminds cricket players, both professional and amateur, of the importance of adhering to all regulations. We are steadfast in our support to all players in this regard. Rabada also said he is looking forward to returning to cricket and thanked his family, legal team, and Gujarat Titans for their support. The South African Institute for Drug-Free Sport (SAIDS), which operates under World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) rules, is expected to release a detailed statement next week. Rabadas suspension is expected to be short, as his case is believed to be similar to New Zealand cricketer Doug Bracewell, who was banned for a month last year after testing positive for cocaine. It is still unclear which recreational substance Kagiso Rabada consumed, though it is likely to be either cocaine or cannabis, two of the substances listed by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) alongside ecstasy and heroin. The South African Institute for Drug-Free Sport (SAIDS), which conducted the test, is expected to release a statement on Monday that may provide further clarity. Under WADAs code, if an athlete can prove the substance was taken out of competition and they remain away from the sport for at least one month, a reduced one-month suspension is allowed. Notably, Rabada had left India on April 3 and returned to South Africa, only to be cleared to resume activities exactly a month latersuggesting his suspension aligned with WADAs minimum sanction guidelines. Under WADAs code, if an athlete can prove the substance was taken out of competition and they remain away from the sport for at least one month, a reduced one-month suspension is allowed.

We must fulfill NTRs dreams. Chandrababu and Pawan Kalyan, together we must do it and we will do it, Modi said. While restarting the construction of Amaravati on Friday, the PM emphasized that the state capital city is not just a city but a dream coming true. Alongside the relaunch, Modi laid the foundation stone for several capital city-related projects and dedicated Rs 58,000 crore worth nine other projects to the nation. Addressing a large gathering, he stated, This is the beginning of building Swarna Andhra (Golden AP). These are not just concrete structures, but are strong foundations for the aspirations of Andhra Pradesh and the vision for a developed India. Modi expressed confidence that Amaravati, once completed in three years as promised by CM Naidu, will transform the state into a modern and progressive one, and it can fulfil the dreams of every Andhraite. Amaravati will emerge as a leading city in the country in fields like Information Technology, Artificial Intelligence, Green Energy, Clean Industries, Education, and Healthcare, he added, pledging full support to the state in providing necessary infrastructure. Recalling his role in laying the foundation for Amaravati as the Peoples Capital in 2015, Modi noted that the Central Government has extended its full support over the past decade, and now, under CM Naidu's leadership, development will progress rapidly, prioritizing essential structures like the High Court, Assembly, Secretariat, and Raj Bhavan.

IPL 2025: Rabada Serving Provisional Suspension After Testing Positive For Recreational Drug

Indian Premier League: South Africas fast-bowling spearhead Kagiso Rabada has revealed he is serving a provisional suspension from all forms of competitive cricket after testing positive for a banned substance, which is a recreational drug. Rabada had played two matches for the Gujarat Titans (GT) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 before abruptly flying back home due to personal reasons. As has been reported, I recently returned to South Africa from participating in the IPL for personal reasons. This was due to my returning an adverse analytical finding for the use of a recreational drug. I am deeply sorry to all those whom I have let down. I will never take the privilege of playing cricket for granted. This privilege is much larger than I. It goes beyond my personal aspirations. I am serving a provisional suspension and I am looking forward to returning to the game I love playing, said Rabada in a statement issued by the South African Cricketers Association (SACA) on Saturday. With this revelation, it is unlikely that Rabada will return to India to play for GT in the remainder of their IPL 2025 campaign. It is yet to be known if the recreational drug that Rabada used was a performance-enhancing one or not. Moreover, whether the positive result of the drug test came through either an 'in competition' or out of competition' testing. It is also not clear whether he flunked the dope test during the IPL or before it. I couldn't have gone through this alone. I'd like to thank my agent, CSA, and Gujarat Titans for their support. I'd also like to thank SACA and my legal team for their guidance and counsel. Most importantly, I'd like to thank my friends and family for their understanding and love. Moving forward, this moment will not define me. I will keep doing what I have always done, continuously working hard and playing with passion and devotion to my craft, added Rabada. I couldn't have gone through this alone. I'd like to thank my agent, CSA, and Gujarat Titans for their support. I'd also like to thank SACA and my legal team for their guidance and counsel.

IPL 2025: Vaibhav Has Been Given License To Express Himself Without Added Pressure, Says RR Bowling Coach Shane Bond

Indian Premier League: Shane Bond, the bowling coach of Rajasthan Royals, has expressed his unwavering support for teenage sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi, despite the ups and downs in his young Indian Premier League (IPL) career. Suryavanshi, who made history by becoming the youngest player to score an IPL century with a 35-ball knock against Gujarat Titans on April 28, faced a reality check in his next match with a two-ball duck against Mumbai Indians. However, Bond remains confident in his potential and emphasized the importance of not overcomplicating things for the 14-year-old. Vaibhav has been given a license to go out and just play, which hes done an amazing job at, for a 14-year-old, said Bond in the press conference. He further added that the coaching staff has been intentional in keeping things simple for the teen, allowing him to express himself without added pressure. We dont want to panic with someone so young, Bond explained. Hes going to fail sometimes, and hes going to have to learn to deal with that. He missed out in the last game, but for us, you dont really want to panic with someone so young, he said. Hes had a fantastic start, but hes also going to go through the ups and downs. You know, hes going to fail sometimes, and hes going to have to learn to deal with that, with someone so young. Bond highlighted the learning curve that Suryavanshi is on and the Royals focus on providing him with the right environment. Assistant coach Vikram Rathour works closely with him on game plans, but outside of that, hes just a kid, so we let him keep swinging, Bond said. The coach also stressed the importance of shielding Suryavanshi from the pressures of fame and social media. We try to protect him from the outside noise, Bond said. Hes a lovely kid, quiet, and his determination and confidence have been spectacular so far. While Bonds support extends to the young cricketer, he also praised the performance of Jofra Archer, Rajasthan Royals best bowler this season, and encouraged his players to continue fighting despite being knocked out of playoff contention. Bonds message to the team was clear: Its about attitude, the desire to compete and win, regardless of the points table. Yeah, he's going great. I mean, it was a tough start for him. But now hes played every game. Hes getting that continuity of performance, Bond said.

IPL 2025: Shubman Gill Leading From The Front Makes It Easier For Other Players, Says Rashid Khan

Narendra Modi Stadium: Gujarat Titans spinner Rashid Khan credited captain Shubman Gill's leadership skills and team effort for the franchise's splendid run in the IPL 2025. With the 38-run win over Sunrisers Hyderabad at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Friday, Gujarat moved to second spot in the points table with seven wins in 10 games, only behind Mumbai Indians, who have the same points in 11 games but have stronger net run rate. For Gujarat, their top order featuring Sai Sudharsan, Gill and Jos Buttler is the backbone of their batting unit and they all are in contention for the Orange Cap. Currently, Sudharsan holds the cap with 504 runs while Buttler and Gill are in close proximity with 470 and 465 runs respectively. On the bowling front, Prasidh Krishna is the Purple Cap holder with 19 scalps while Mohammed Siraj is also on the list with 14 wickets. The Afghan star lauded Gill for leading from the front and making things easy for fellow team members. Well, I think it's overall, you know, a team effort. Starting from Ashish bhai, how he manages the team. Then captain Shubman Gill, how he manages inside (on the field). And then, how he is leading from the front, that's something which sets an example for us as a player that the captain is leading from the front. And that's something which makes it very easier. How our top order and also the bowling unit, how Siraj and Prasidh, Ishant, Sai Kishore and everyone is bowling. I think it's just a combination of all team effort, Rashid told IANS in a virtual media interaction organised by the franchise. The 26-year-old added that the side is keeping things simple and backing their process to get the desired results. And to be honest, we just kept the thing simple. You know, the simple we keep, the better we perform. And we don't really much think about the result but we really think about the process and the mindset and the preparation. That it all has to be done properly. And I feel like that's why we have been delivering the best performances, he added. With playoffs qualification within reach, Gujarat will hope to secure the numero uno spot in the standings to bolster their hopes to reach the finals. And to be honest, we just kept the thing simple. You know, the simple we keep, the better we perform. And we don't really much think about the result but we really think about the process and the mindset and the preparation.

Tourists cancel Kashmir bookings, shift to Himachal after Pahalgam attack fallout

CHANDIGARH: Tourists now prefer vacationing in Himachal Pradesh over Jammu and Kashmir after the Pahalgam terror attack in which 26 persons were killed. Approximately 15-20% of both domestic and international bookings have shifted from Kashmir to Himachal's popular destinations including Manali, Shimla and Dharamshala; however, the surge in footfall is not as expected as tourists have adopted a 'wait-and-watch' policy amid prevailing uncertainties and hostilities between India and Pakistan. Ashwani Bamba, president of the Hotel and Restaurant Association of Kangra, told TNIE that, after the terror attack, tour operators and potential tourists inquired for booking in Himachal and Uttarakhand and that they expected the surge to be significant. But, actually only 15-20% of tourists shifted from J&K to Himachal and the rest probably prefer to not venture out during this summer season owing to the escalating tensions between India and Pakistan. Thus, the occupancy of hotels across the state at present is around 40% only, the same as last year. Bookings that were shifted were that of tourist groups traveling from Maharashtra, Gujarat and other states, not the immediate bookings in Kashmir which had gotten cancelled, he said. Bamba added that, in Himachal, Manali had the maximum number of shifted bookings at about 20%, while Dharamsala, Dalhousir and Shimla had much fewer. He said that advance bookings had already been made for the IPL matches in Dharamsala. Kashmir tourism stumbles after Pahalgam terror attack, but industry leaders remain hopeful Mohinder Seth, president of Himachal Pradesh Tourism Stakeholders Association, said that tourists are adopting a wait and watch policy due to India-Pakistan tensions. On everyone's mind, there is only one question: What will the Union government do in the coming days? The common is just waiting for that. There were a lot of inquiries after the unfortunate incident as people got diverted from the Kashmir Valley, but the actual number of bookings are very less. In May, generally, there is about 30-40% occupancy across the state, after May 15 we are expecting that it may touch 60-70% as advance bookings are already been done, he said. This tragedy not only upended the tourism sector in Kashmir, but has also impacted the neighboring states of Himachal and Uttarakhand. Ex-President of Manali Hotel Association Mukesh Thakur said that after terror attack there was lot of expectation that the tourist rush will shift to Himachal and lot of queries had also come. But the number of booking which are less as, first, the tourists have to get their booking cancelled and take a refund and then again they will think where to go. Already as predicted that the summers will be hot this year so already there are lot of booking done in advance as far as Manali is concerned. At present around 30-40% occupancy in the hotels here and after May 15 as summer intensifies the occupancy is expected to touch more than 80% as already people have booked. Also is expected that in coming days more online bookings will be done. The tourism industry contributes 7.78 per cent to the GDP of the hill state. As per the Economic Survey report for Himachal Pradesh for 2024-25, the number of domestic visitors increased to 1.8 crore in 2024 from 56.32 lakh in 2021 while the surge in foreign tourists was 83,000 in 2024 from 5000 in 2021. On the other hand the tourism industry contributes 7.2 per cent to the GDP of Jammu and Kashmir.

IPL 2025: Learnt From Bowling In ODI Cricket About My Role With Ball In GT, Says Prasidh Krishna

Prasidh Krishna: After regaining Purple Cap in IPL 2025 through his spell of 2-19 in four overs, Gujarat Titans (GT) fast-bowler Prasidh Krishna credited his time of bowling in 50-over cricket helping him ace the role with the ball hes having with the franchise in the ongoing competition. It was a new role for me, but it was no different because I was doing this job when I was playing 50-over cricket. So, I came in, learned how to bowl the 5th, 6th over of the powerplay and then take the team from there. There's no real result when you're doing well and the team isn't winning. So, firstly I was a bit nervous coming into the tournament. I know I'd missed out on the last couple of years. But then when I came in, I was very clear that I wanted to bowl well. I wanted GT to win every single game, said Prasidh in a video posted on iplt20.com on Saturday. Gujarats 38-run win over Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) helped them reach 14 points and acquire second spot in the points table only behind five-time champions Mumbai Indians. I think the team has been doing really well and everybody around is doing a good job in our preparation, and the way we get to the games. The practice sessions from day one, even before the tournament started, have been really, really good. It shows that all of us have been putting in the work. When we get on the ground, we are also doing a good job. So, happy to get the win right now, added Prasidh. He also appreciated the efforts of captain Shubman Gill and head coach Ashish Nehra driving the good results for GT this season. He's (Gill) doing a brilliant job. He knows what to say to whom. He knows what the plans are. He's very communicative. Because we batted there, he knows what the pitch is like. So, the input from him actually helps us a lot. The preparation that we have done pre-game and the discussions are all happening on the ground. So, I think he's only going better and better every day. Ashish Nehra makes sure that all of us are very well-knit. The meetings are very, very personal. He understands what the bowler is trying to do and reads the situation pretty well. I think it's a big learning for me, the way he assists in reading the pitch, batsmen, conditions, situation and all of that. When it comes to the game, he makes sure you use all of that that he's spoken to us. Gill, who top-scored with 76, was pleased with how everyone, especially the bowlers, have clicked to perform as a cohesive unit. When I'm playing out there, I just want to play as a batsman and help my team score as many runs as I can. I think the way everyone is contributing, be it in batting, bowling or fielding - we have come together as a team and we've been chipping in all aspects of the game. A captain can only be as good as the team. It's one thing to plan, but to be able to execute those plans, the credit actually goes to the bowlers. They know their plans very well. The way they have been executing their plans, it's one thing to be able to come up with a plan. But to be able to execute those plans under pressure is just tremendous to watch. Gill, who top-scored with 76, was pleased with how everyone, especially the bowlers, have clicked to perform as a cohesive unit. When I'm playing out there, I just want to play as a batsman and help my team score as many runs as I can.

IMD forecasts thunderstorms, hailstorms over major parts of India this week

After stormy weather in the past 24-hours in North India, the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued an Orange alert for Northwest India, including the Delhi-NCR region, as well as East and Central India, for the next four days. The regions are expected to experience heavy rainfall, accompanied by lightning, hailstorms, and strong winds, occur throughout the week. Following it, the IMD has issued an agromet advisory to protect crops and orchards. They also urged residents of vulnerable regions, particularly in urban and hilly areas to take necessary precautions before the hazardous weather. In the past 24-hours, Delhi's Safdarjung station recorded 77 mm of rainfall, marking the second-highest amount of rainfall for May since 1901. The highest was 119.3 mm, recorded on May 20, 2021, at the Safdarjung Airport. This recent rainfall was associated with the remnants of the Tauktae cyclone that crossed the Gujarat coast. After significant downpours along with thunderstorms, minimum temperatures in Delhi-NCR dropped by as much as 8C, and it has been predicted that maximum temperatures in Delhi-NCR will be below normal by 1-3C in the coming days. The IMD reports that multiple weather systems are currently in place, leading to continued rainfall, thunderstorms, and lightning in the region. A combination of a western disturbance and a series of cyclonic circulations over Rajasthan, Punjab, and Haryana has created hazardous weather conditions across large areas of North India. These weather systems are expected to remain active throughout the week. In some areas, there may be dust storms and isolated hailstorms, particularly in parts of Rajasthan. In addition to Northwest India, multiple weather systems are present over Central and Eastern India, resulting in widespread rainfall, thunderstorms, and lightning. The IMD's advisory notes the existence of a cyclonic system over Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan, as well as a trough running from Punjab to North Kerala. Furthermore, another cyclonic circulation is located over northern Bangladesh at lower and middle tropospheric levels. All these systems are anticipated to bring rain across the country in the coming days, indicating active pre-monsoon showers and causing unseasonal rainfall. This unseasonal rain is expected to be beneficial for upcoming crops, as it will help replenish soil moisture during a typically dry period, said Mahesh Palawat of Skymet Weather, a private weather agency. In its agromet advisory, IMD advised to drain out excess water from standing crops in Odisha, Kerala and Karnataka whereas it advised use of hail nets and caps to prevent damage in vegetables and orchards in Sikkim, Odisha, Himachal Pradesh, East Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Vidarbha. For livestock, it advised to keep animals inside shed during rainfall and hailstorm and feed and fodders at safe place. Additionally, residents should monitor the weather and be prepared to move to safer areas if conditions worsen.

IPL 2025: Mohammed Shami Is Not Looking Good Right Now, Says Aakash Chopra

World Test Championship: Former India opener Aakash Chopra believes that veteran pacer Mohammed Shami is not looking good right now in IPL 2025, adding that a big question mark appears over which version of him would turn up for the Test series against England, starting on June 20. Shami didn't play IPL 2024 due to an achilles tendon surgery needed to solve his heel injury. But this season has seen Shami struggle to be at his best picking just six wickets from nine matches at an average of 56.17 and an economy rate of 11.23. His poor form extended to Sunrisers Hyderabads 38-run loss to Gujarat Titans (GT) in Ahmedabad, where he was hit for 48 runs in three overs. This tournament is such that it doesn't matter who you are. If you're not delivering the goods, you will be taken to the cleaners, and right now, what I see with Shami is, pace down is one bit, second is not enough balls getting bowled in the same area. Mohammed Shami was always that. That is his only strength (and), it is phenomenal. Going back to that game against Pakistan (in the Champions Trophy), where he bowled five wides in the first over - okay that happened also 45 days ago or, maybe more, two months ago (on February 23). So if he's still not able to get the ball right because he's not someone who will get flicked for a six; you can drive him for a four, cut him maybe - he doesn't give you that much width by the way - but very seldom will he bowl those that you're flicking for a six and you're happy facing the (next) ball. So yeah, he's not looking good (right now), said Chopra on ESPNcricinfo. Indias immediate assignment after IPL 2025 will be the Test tour of England, which marks the start of their new World Test Championship (WTC) cycle. India havent won a Test series in England after 2007, and Shamis poor run in IPL 2025 raises concerns over how would he fare in the upcoming series. Shami averages 40.5 from the 14 Tests hes played in England so far. That's a big question there, no, because it's not like he came back from an injury last week or last month. He started playing domestic cricket last year and this is May already. He's played an ICC event (Champions Trophy) in between. He's played a lot of games. If he's still off the boil, and that has something to do with the injury - and we're all assuming that it is - then there is a serious question mark with regards to what happens next. Shami averages 40.5 from the 14 Tests hes played in England so far. That's a big question there, no, because it's not like he came back from an injury last week or last month.

Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium: Left-arm pacer Jaydev Unadkat stated that the disappointing IPL 2025 season for Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) has been down to the side lacking in bowlers who can contribute with wickets in every game. SRHs hopes of qualifying for playoffs are all but over after suffering a 38-run loss to Gujarat Titans (GT) on Friday. From my experience of playing in the IPL, for a team to do well, you need 3-4 guys in terms of your bowling who have to contribute in every game. This year we are lacking that. When two guys are bowling well, the other three are probably not bowling well in tandem. When we look at partnerships in batting, it is the same with bowling as well because when you are not bowling well from both the ends, it creates unnecessary pressure on the other guy, and then the plans also change. That hasn't really clicked for us, and we have to take the blame. When you want to win games, you have to be the best and we haven't been the best. I can't say that there is anything we lack in terms of practicing, training or planning, it is just the execution out there on the field, said Unadkat at the conclusion of the game. At the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, barring Unadkats three-fer, SRH were listless in their bowling efforts, as GT made 224/3. Unadkat also felt SRH not having much of 'complete performances' this season hurt them big time. We've had one or two really good games, like you saw in Chennai. There were some great catches taken there. But this was one day where it was all not coming together. When we are bowling well, we might not be fielding well, and when we're actually fielding well or taking those catches, we might not be bowling well. Same with the batting innings, we started off well but we lost the plot midway. For a complete performance and to win games against good sides, which Gujarat Titans are, you need a performance where you are doing well in all three departments, and we missed out on the fielding bit here, and that's what cost us the game, he added.

IPL 2025: Gills Style Of Scoring Runs Consistently Is Similar To Kohli, Says Jadeja

Narendra Modi Stadium: Former India cricketer Ajay Jadeja believes Shubman Gills style of consistently scoring runs is reminiscent of how Virat Kohli approaches his batting, adding that the young batter is outstanding skill-wise. Captain Gill top-scored with 76 as Gujarat Titans (GT) made 224/6 at their home venue Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Those efforts set the base for GT beating a listless Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) by 38 runs to be at second place in points table with 14 points, which is the same as table-toppers Mumbai Indians (MI). Gill now has 465 runs in ten games and is at fourth place in the run-getters list of IPL 2025 led by his opening partner B Sai Sudharsan. Its business as usual with Shubman Gill because this man is just so consistent. We have a Virat Kohli in our country, but Gill is no less. If you look at the consistency with which he scores - its similar in style. They dont take unnecessary risks; they wait for the bowler to make a mistake. Unless absolutely required, you rarely see them throw their wicket away. Skill-wise, Gill is outstanding. He peppered the offside beautifully with those cover drives. What stood out were those three big hits - one over mid-wicket off Pat Cummins and another off the other pacer. That was a new element today. Otherwise, he remains rock solid, said Jadeja on JioStar. Jadeja further highlighted how GTs intensity and intent in catching and ground fielding also helped them stifle SRH. I think the right word for GT was energy. That catch from Rashid Khan, and all those diving efforts, were fabulous. He ran a lot, slid in, and still managed to pull it off. That effort shows. What we saw was a Gujarat Titans side probably stung by their last loss against Rajasthan Royals. One thing they were sure of was giving it their best, and the energy was top-level. I haven't seen GT field with this kind of intensity before. They've taken brilliant catches in the past, but here, energy was clearly fuelled by what happened in the last game. When you lose a game like that, you come back tougher - and they certainly did, he added. Pacer Prasidh Krishna continued his impressive run with 2-19 in four overs, and replaced Josh Hazlewood at the top of the wicket-takers list. Former India spinner Pragyan Ojha praised the franchises support staff, led by head coach Ashish Nehra, behind Prasidh coming good in IPL 2025. I think hes been brilliant so far. What I love about him is the clarity he has in his bowling. Hes also got strong backing from his captain and coach Ashish Nehra. If youve heard Nehra speak, he always emphasises bowling hard lengths - and Prasidh thrives on that. When youre backed for your strengths, everything becomes easier. Once he gets those early wickets, the momentum carries forward, and thats exactly what hes done consistently, he concluded. I think hes been brilliant so far. What I love about him is the clarity he has in his bowling. Hes also got strong backing from his captain and coach Ashish Nehra. If youve heard Nehra speak, he always emphasises bowling hard lengths - and Prasidh thrives on that. Also Read: LIVE Cricket Score Article Source: IANS

IPL 2025: SRH's Season Has Gone From Bad To Worse After Loss Against GT, Says Rayudu

New Delhi: Former India batter Ambati Rayudu came down heavily on Sunrisers Hyderabad's struggling campaign in the IPL 2025 season following their 38-run loss against Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad on Friday. Last year's runners-up are reeling at the ninth place in the points table with only three wins in 10 games so far. Their playoffs chances are all but over as they failed to strike a balance within their squad this season. Dissecting SRH's loss, Rayudu feels that Gujarat's daunting total of 224/6 single-handedly took the match away from the visiting side. Home captain Shubman Gill played a knock of 38-ball 76 studded with 10 fours and two sixes while Jos Buttler smashed 64 off 37 balls laced with four sixes and three fours. In reply, barring Abhishek Sharma, who scored 74 in 41 balls including six sixes and four fours, no other batter got going in the innings while others faltered against Gujarat's pace attack led by Mohammed Siraj (2-33) and Prasidh Krishna (2-19). I think the game was lost in the first innings itself. The target was just too much to chase, especially given the way they bowled early on, it was quite ordinary. But credit to GT for some extraordinary batting. SRH also fell short in the field, dropped catches, misfields - they just didnt seem up for it tonight. GT brought so much energy, while SRH looked flat and low on intent, Rayudu said on JioHotstar. If you remove Abhishek Sharma's innings, there really isnt much to talk about for SRH. Thats because of the quality of Gujarat Titans bowling and also some spectacular catches, one from Jos Buttler, one from Rashid Khan. Prasidh Krishna has been extraordinary, and those two wickets in the middle when the partnership was building for SRH were crucial. Their catching was top-class. And also Siraj, the way he has come back. Gujarat Titans is well and truly at the business end of the tournament and in a great zone, he added. I think the game was lost in the first innings itself. The target was just too much to chase, especially given the way they bowled early on, it was quite ordinary. But credit to GT for some extraordinary batting.

Vizhinjam had strong Gujarat link in the distant past: Historian M G Sasibhooshan

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the commissioning of Vizhinjam International port on Friday japed that Gujarat might get upset seeing the Adani Group building a massive port here-something they have not done back home despite being engaged in port construction there for the past three decades. However, it seems the Prime Minister was oblivious to the fact that ancient Vizhinjam already had a strong Gujarati connection via Ay-vel dynasty, which ruled parts of South Kerala till 10th Century AD and had the port town as its administrative capital. According to Kerala Historian M G Sasibhooshan, the forefathers of Ays were Gujarati princes. He said two of the Ay rulers, Karunandatakkan and his son Vikramaditya Varaguna, paid special attention to Vizhinjam and the latter addressed himself as lord of Vizhinjam, revealing the strong attachment he had with the place. Vizhinjam was very dear to the Ay world, he said. Gujarati merchants too frequented the harbour those days and as per experts, they played a major role in spreading civilisation to South India and Sri Lanka, Sasibhooshan added. There is a saying that history repeats itself. Its a coincidence that by partnering with Adani, history has repeated the connection it had with Gujarat a 1000 years ago, Sasibhooshan said.

PM Modi takes swipes at INDIA bloc, LDF government at Vizhinjam port inauguration event

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Prime Minister Narendra Modis speech at the Vizhinjam port inauguration was a blend of praise for Kerala and pointed political remarks aimed at the Opposition, particularly the INDIA bloc led by Rahul Gandhi. In a veiled jab, he said, I want to tell the chief minister: You are a strong pillar of the INDI alliance. Shashi Tharoor is also here. Todays event will surely disturb the sleep of many. The impromptu speech left even the translator Pallipuram Jayakumar stumped. And he erroneously translated the remark as, Care should be taken to address the problems related to our airlines. Noticing the error, Modi took it in his stride. The message has reached where it was meant to, he said, drawing laughter and applause from the audience. He also highlighted Ports Minister V N Vasavans reference to Adani as a partner during his welcome speech, portraying it as a sign of changing times when a communist government acknowledges a private company as a partner. In jest, he also lauded Gautam Adani, who was present on the dais, for developing in Vizhinjam a port grander than the one at Mundra, Gujarat. In Gujarat, he has been working on the [Mundra] port for 30 years. But its nothing compared to what he has developed here. He must to be prepared to hear complaints of the people of Gujarat, Modi said. Surprisingly, the PM made no mention of the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, J&K an issue he had addressed at a recent public event in Bihar. Opening his speech, Modi expressed joy at being in the land of Sree Padmanabha and paid homage to Adi Shankaracharya on his birth anniversary. In his closing remarks, he remembered late Pope Francis, speaking warmly of their meeting and conversations about peace, humanity and service. Those discussions continue to inspire me, he said. However, Vasavan, sought to distance himself from controversy, saying there was not much to be read into his partner reference.

IPL 2025: Cummins Optimistic Over SRH Future Despite Seventh Defeat

Indian Premier League: Sunrisers Hyderabad captain Pat Cummins stated the team 'can cling on to some hope' about their future despite having been virtually eliminated from playoff contention after the 38-run defeat against Gujarat Giants in Match 51 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 here on Friday. Half-centuries by Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler saw Gujarat post a massive total of 224/6 in the first innings at the Narendra Modi Stadium. Despite Abhishek Sharmas 74-run fighting knock, there was not enough fight by the batters to chase it down, and they fizzled to 186/6. Sunrisers have won only three of their 10 games so far this season, and their fate now depends on other fixtures going their way. However, Cummins believes that hope is still there for the franchise, given the mega auctions that took place in 2024, ensuring the core of the team will remain the same for years to follow. Our power-play with the bat wasn't too great. I was as guilty as anyone else. Probably let them get 20-30 extra runs. Maybe hang on to one or two catches. Again, I am guilty there. Chasing 200 looked a bit more realistic. They are class batters. They don't do anything outlandish. If you bowl bad balls, they just put them away. We probably dished out too many bad balls. It is a really good wicket. Going for 140 in the last 14 overs was good on the bowling part. Sharma batted nicely. Nitish at the end. Left a little too much and too late for the batters. We can cling to some hope. Big auction last year. The core of the group will be there for three years, said Cummins during the post-game presentation on Friday. Our power-play with the bat wasn't too great. I was as guilty as anyone else. Probably let them get 20-30 extra runs. Maybe hang on to one or two catches. Again, I am guilty there.

IPL 2025: Gill leads from the front as GT crush SRH

Shubman Gill's explosive 76 propelled Gujarat Titans to a commanding 38-run victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad. Gill's aggressive batting, supported by Sai Sudharsan and Jos Buttler, helped GT post a formidable 224/6. Prasidh Krishna's economical bowling, including the crucial wicket of Travis Head, stifled SRH's chase, despite Abhishek Sharma's valiant effort.

IPL 2025: All-round Gujarat Titans Move To Second Place With 38-run Win Over SRH

Indian Premier League: Prasidh Krishna and Mohammed Siraj grabbed two wickets each as Gujarat Titans registered a 38-run victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad, in Match 51 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 at the Narendra Modi Stadium here on Friday. With this loss, SRH stand virtually eliminated, having won only three of their 10 games. Hosts, Gujarat Titans, moved past Royal Challengers Bengaluru, via net run rate, into the second spot with 14 points. With Sunrisers Hyderabad chasing a massive target of 225 courtesy of half-centuries by Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler for Gujarat Titams, no one could not rule out the dangerous opening pair of Abhishek Sharma (74) and Travis Head (20) who got off to a strong start with a six and four respectively off Mohammed Siraj in the first over. Abhishek, the young Indian batter, scored at a brisk pace while Head joined in with three boundaries, and the duo could have made a serious dent in GTs total if it was not for a screamer of a catch by Rashid Khan. A short delivery by Prasidh Krishna saw Head pull it towards the square boundary, where Rashid covered quite some distance and took a solid diving catch to leave the Australian in disbelief and also saw Krishna reclaim the Purple Cap. While Abhishek kept finding boundaries at regular intervals, Ishan Kishan (13) seriously struggled on this day and failed to find a single boundary during his 17-ball stay at the crease. The game always looked to be creeping away from the visitors despite Abhishek and Heinrich Klassen (23) dispatching Rashid Khan for a six each in the 11th over. Abhishek notched his first half-century of the campaign in the 12th over with a six off Gerald Coetzee. He went on to score 74 off 41 at a strike rate of 180.49 before losing his wicket in an effort to further ramp up the run-rate. A short ball by Ishant Sharma saw Abhishek mistime his pull-shot, and Siraj ran in from deep midwicket to take a low catch to completely drag the game in GTs favour. Krishna added to the visitors misery by finding a thin inside edge off Klassen as he claimed his 100th wicket in the format. The Sunrisers innings crumbled from there as power-hitter Aniket Verma (3) holed out to Shahrukh Khan at long-on. Siraj continued the mayhem with a short-ball on the next delivery that Kamindu Mendis (0) failed to latch on to and edged it, Jos Buttler took a solid catch. The game was all but done and dusted from there, SRH needed 65 runs with 12 balls remaining. A six by Pat Cummins (19*) and two by Nitish Kumar Reddy (21*) off Rashid in the penultimate over saw SRH move closer to the total, but their efforts went in vain as they ended the innings at 186/6 in 20 overs. Earlier, in the first innings, fifties by Gill and Buttler, alongside Sai Sudharsans 48-run blitz, saw Gujarat Titans score 224/6 in 20 overs. For the bowling side, Jaydev Unadkat was the highest wicket-taker with three scalps to his name. Gills innings was one of flair and class. The Indian top-order batter showed his deep arsenal of shot selection, finding the gap and rushing to 76 off just 38 deliveries with 10 boundaries and two sixes to his name. It is the third innings in a row when the right-handed opener failed to reach the century milestone after having looked set for a big score, with scores of 90 and 84 in their last two games. After being put to bat first by SRH, Gill let his intentions be known from the get-go when he flicked Mohammed Shami over the fielder at deep fine leg for six off the third delivery. It certainly was not the best of days for the veteran Indian pacer as Sudharsan struck him for five boundaries in the third over. Gill continued the fireworks by hitting two brilliantly struck fours through the covers off Pat Cummins before hitting his second maximum of the night in the same over. Sudharsan continued the rampage by hitting four boundaries off Harshal Patel as the duo raised Gujarat Titans highest score in the power play by smashing 82/0 in the opening six overs. However, the left-handed opener was denied his sixth half-century of the season courtesy of a googly outside the off-stump by Zeeshan Ansari, which saw Sudharsan attempt to cut it late, but a reactive Klassen took the catch to earn their first breakthrough. Gill continued to carve boundaries, which included two boundaries each off Shami and Kamindu Mendis, with Buttler joining the proceedings with a scoop six off the former before the skipper was dismissed cheaply. A nudge towards Patel at short fine-leg saw Gill try and steal a quick single but was left just short of the crease. With Buttler keeping the scoreboard ticking from one end, Washington Sundar continued to rotate the strike before the latter took on Zeeshan and conjured an important 16-run over in the 17th over, which also raised the English wicket-keeper batters fifth half-century of the season. Unadkat, who had not picked a scalp on the night, took three in the final over by dismissing Sundar, Rahul Tewatia, and Rashid Khan in quick succession in the ultimate over. Brief scores: Unadkat, who had not picked a scalp on the night, took three in the final over by dismissing Sundar, Rahul Tewatia, and Rashid Khan in quick succession in the ultimate over.
